Cappy’s may be the Tim Duncan of San Antonio restaurants. By delivering consistently strong performance over many years, this place makes excellence look easy.

But the longevity here extends past Timmy’s career to the restaurant’s opening in 1977, and chef Gabriel Ibarra and his team continue to serve up on-point dishes. The menu evolves gradually and stays current, but is never trendy. Among the longtime favorites are horseradish-crusted chicken, blue crab cakes and the Heights Burger with bacon and a choice of aged cheddar or Gorgonzola.
